SUFFOLK, Va. — An investigation is underway after a man was shot and killed on New Year's Day in Suffolk, according to police.
Police say this happened just after 9 p.m. in the 100 block of Pine St. - just a couple blocks away from City Hall.
Officers say they found a 63-year-old man who had been shot, and he died before he could be rushed to the hospital.
Police have since identified the man as Sherman Perry of Suffolk.
So far, police haven't released any information about what may have led up to the violence.
Police said there's currently no suspect information to share. However, people nearby told News 3 reporter Kelsey Jones that a bullet went through the victim's bedroom window, leading them to believe the shooting was intentional.
One neighbor told Kelsey that she's disappointed the new year began with violence.
"It's very scary. Bullets have no names, they hit anybody. It's scary, horrible, terrifying - whatever bad words you want to use, you know, to describe bad feelings about somebody being shot and killed in your neighborhood, basically right next door," said the neighbor.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
